(Frames anddoors).Solutions:- We labeled and provided a sampleset for every component used ineach station.- We set inventory form for everycomponent in each station.Operator responsibility.Benefits:- Proper inventory of componentsTo make products and increasedcycle time.- Employees were informing aboutlow inventory components andsupplies. Visual management of theprocess. 10. PRODUCTIONPRESENT - PROBLEM We are breaking our production planning to meet any special order. We do not have enough labor to keep the painting system running withoutstopping. If we keep the painting system running without stopping we HAVE TO STOPdoors slab production. If we want the painting system running at 50% of capacity we HAVE TO STOPwelding frames 11. PRODUCTIONPresent: Set up #1We are making slabs doors and frames but not painting doors. Also,painting frames are running inefficiently (10% painting system capacity) 12. PRODUCTIONPRESENT: Set up # 2Making slab doors, no welding frames but increasing doors and framespainting to 15%. 13. PRODUCTIONPRESENT - PROBLEMNo making door slabs, no welding frames but painting to 50% capacity 14. PRODUCTION IDEAL Making doors, frames, and painting to 90% capacity nostopping any process 15. PRODUCTION PROPOSAL Monday and Wednesday full (100%) slab doors productionbut not welding frames. 16. PRODUCTION PROPOSAL Tuesday and Thursday morning full slab door slab but noframe production. 17. PRODUCTION Tuesday and Thursday afternoon full frame production, no slabdoors production but painting 50% capacity 18. PRODUCTION Friday morning special order doors production, no welding frames, andPainting 15% capacity. 19. PRODUCTION Friday afternoon prepare work stations components and suppliesfor next week, welding frames, and painting 50% capacity. 20. CONCLUSION Our cycle time is high when we make special orders in a hurry. Due to fewemployees in production, we have to switch people from production to paintingarea. It is not planning in place. Our bottleneck is our painting system because it just has 2 workers. (It needs moreresources) My recommendation is to stick to a slab door and frame production plan andfollow a schedule to balance production and painting. Order precut foam for doors. (Select quality providers) To keep a minimum inventory of components in each station: Channel and top capsfor 400 doors. To stop production at 3 pm to clean stations and supply components for everystation for next production day. To have one radio for painting system area, one for slab door production, and onefor inside office or manager office to constantly know about how every area isdoing. To motivate and reward employees for performance completely free and valuablefor them. (Use a reward card to award an employee every month and give a plaqueto EMPLOYEE of the month). Caring about employees will increase productivity. We had increased production in at least 35% thanks to coworkers cooperation,advise, retraining , education, quality metrics, and setting constantly goals thatemployees can reach. 21.
